Event rates for the scattering of weakly interacting massive particles from $^{23}$Na and $^{40}$Ar
Abstract
Detection rates for the elastic and inelastic scattering of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP) off Na are calculated within the framework of Deformed Shell Model (DSM) based on Hartree-Fock states. First the spectroscopic properties like energy spectra and magnetic moments are calculated and compared with experiment. Following the good agreement for these, DSM wave functions are used for obtaining elastic and inelastic spin structure functions, nuclear structure coefficients etc. for the WIMP-Na scattering. Then, the event rates are also calculated with a given set of supersymmetric parameters. In the same manner, using DSM wavefunctions, nuclear structure coefficients and event rates for elastic scattering of WIMP from Ar are also obtained. These results for event rates and also for annual modulation will be useful for the upcoming and future WIMP detection experiments involving detectors with Na and Ar.
